Interview with Born Music

Anja talked to Born Music about her first single off NOMAD, "How to Be Cool", her online store, and her journey full of ups and downs that got her to where she is today. 

"One thing that all musicians can relate to is the worth ethic required to elevate a project from gestation to realisation. As with most creative endeavours, it is a profession not handed to you but built from the ground up with a dose of stubbornness, a tonne of determination and your fair share of blood, sweat and tears. Anja Kotar knows all about the resilience required to create your own world. The 19 year old singer-songwriter relocated to San Jose, California with her family in order to pursue her art."

Music Existence reviews "How to Be Cool"

Dana Jacobs from Music Existence wrote Anja's debut single from NOMAD "defies satisfying comparison in the best possible way. In the incredibly catchy track, the 20-year old Slovenian singer combines unique dance beats with a healthy dose of synth for a sound that is somewhere between K. Flay and Betty Who, while still showcasing Kotar’s gentle yet commanding voice."

Thomas Bleach: How to Be Cool (single review)

Thomas Bleach heard Anja's new single How to Be Cool and atured it on his music review site: "How To Be Cool pushes all the boundaries on what a pop song should sound like... Her vocal delivery has her going from whispering lines to screeching them to beautiful high notes and pure pop deliveries. The versatility in one song is impressive and I can’t get enough of it."

Salute Mag: How to Be Cool (single review)

The known Salute Mag reviews Anja's new single How to Be Cool, saying it, "is literally the epitome of cool. It’s the song to play when riding downtown or in your bedroom, getting dressed to go out. Anja’s vocals are not those of a 20-year-old girl. More like a woman in her mid-20s or early 30s with a car, a trendy closet, and an impressive credit score."

Premiering #NOMAD tracks in VR!

Hey fam! The release of the album is a just a little over two weeks away and I'm premiering a few tracks from it tomorrow in virtual reality :) 

I'm working together with Chew On This Storytelling and AltSpaceVR to bring a new element to the music. I've always believed that albums should be more than just songs, that they should be an experience (hence, the Too Cool store --> check out the trailer here ;) so the event tomorrow is the first step in that direction. 

Come hang at 6pm PST: https://account.altvr.com/events/669040664050139420
